Is that Caloi a road bike? If it is, and the frame fits you, putting a few dollars into fixing that up might be your best bet. Otherwise, you just need to keep looking around on Graigslist, and other selling websights. Ask your local bike shop too. They might have something.
But I will also add that if you plan on trying a triathlon...if you're not much of a swimmer...you need to tend to that. Lots of first-time triathletes make the mistake of thinking the swimming portion of the race is easy.
